How to Buy DVD Media Storage
Storing DVDs properly not only keeps them organized, but it also reduces the risk of scratches, cracks, or damage occurring to your media. There are a few options when it comes to storing your collection, including cases and sleeves, with Fellowes offering media storage for every need.
Which Storage Options Can I Choose?
There are a few different ways you can store your media, and selecting the proper option depends on several factors. Among other considerations, you'll want to consider how much media you have along with where you keep your discs.
- Sleeves are clear, plastic pouches that you slide discs into. They typically come in sheets, hold two to four discs, and have holes along the side. These holes allow you to place the sheets into binders or other zippered cases to secure your media safely inside.
- A CD wallet is a small version of a binder. This holds single CD sleeves that you can flip through to find the disc you're looking for. A wallet is also portable and may hold 30 or more discs using double-sided sleeves.
- Media towers are typically made of sturdy plastic. These standing media-storage options fit onto a desk or in a home theater and have individual slots that you can place CDs or DVDs into to keep them organized. Some even work as a cabinet with a door that closes.
What Storage Features Are Available?
Deciding on the right type of media storage means considering the variety of features that these products have to offer.
- Select sleeves that are protective and feature an added lining to ensure that your CDs stay scratch-free.
- A locking CD tower not only keeps your CDs organized and gives you a place to store them, but it also allows you to lock up some of your most prized CDs to keep them safe and secure.
- Some designs come with a soft cleaning cloth that you can use to wipe your CDs clean as you store and organize them, which helps to extend their lifespan and keep them dust-free.
How Do You Select Media Storage?
Choosing the right storage option for your collection depends on what your own specific needs are, and there are a few things to think about that can aid in your decision-making process.
- Choose Fellowes storage based on how many items you need to store and based on how large your collection of movies or music is. Some towers hold 20 CDs, while there are trays that hold up to 60 for larger collections.
- Consider whether you need peripheral accessories to hold your items, such as paper envelopes or jewel cases to replace lost or broken CD cases.
- Finally, decide whether you'd benefit from a portable accessory. While a tower or tray works for home use, binders and wallets allow you to take music with you when you travel.
